2021 World Championships

HR barely has any chatter on 2021 Worlds.

A few of their brainiacs even suggested all winners be given *asterisks* because some OLY medalists chose not to compete.
lol that's been discussed on just about every forum heading into the event and at some weights it's true. Not asterisk worthy, but 65 for example has almost none of the best guys.

btw, currently a 100% "congratulations TG" rate over on HR, not to ruin the narrative over here.

Wow.
It only took you 5 mins to run over here & start waving your arms. Lol.

Careful you don’t pull a hamstring.
 
Gilman gets his Gold to go with his Silver and Bronze. Well done. NLWC will have 3 (plus?) medalists again.

wouldn't have to if you weren't a liar ;)

HR narrative is these are weak weights, not good wresters thru out. Guess that means the Hawkeye wrestlers are all weak, not that good, by their own words. Since not one Hawkeye made the team.
The weights are weak internationally, not in America. All the good Americans are wrestling (except Gable).

And yes, currently the HWC is weak. Don’t think you’d find a Hawkeye fan that would say otherwise. Is this breaking news?

JB kept his distance most of the match, but his two clean doubles were the difference, Iran never really threatened. Significant legacy moment given it's his sixth world gold, and up a weight.
JB seems to be one of the few wrestlers in FS that can operate from space and use movement without geeting many passivity calls. Do the refs know that blast double is coming?

Are they still laughing at me over there? Told them 2 or 3 years ago that now that Cael has propelled PSU into the best college program in the country that his next task was to turn the NLWC into the premier club in the country in turn making the HWC pretty much an also ran. Are they still laughing and calling me an idiot?

It could be a bit of his reputation preceding him, but that take probably doesn't give him enough credit for his sixth sense about when to stave off a passivity call. And when he shoots, it's typically with full commitment. If he gets hit with passivity it's because he factored that in and is fine giving one up. That's partly due to often having more experience than everyone else at the weight combined, but it's also that he's seriously smart. He knows how to work the clock better than anyone.

You are way too tied in with your anonymous identity on a message board if you have to thump your own chest like this in a thread about the World Championships. I, for one, am uninterested about how your three year old arguments on HR turn out.

First off, I'm not all that anonymous. Second of all, I take a beating over there anytime I post something. When I'm proven correct you can bet your ass they will know about it. 3rd... and this one is the most important one... I dont give a damn what you are interested in. You discuss what you want to discuss and I'll do the same.

But thanks for your input tho...
 
To me he was before, but now it’s solidified. 10 world medals 6 gold. The longevity and consistency is amazing.
ok assuming JB hangs on and wins is he the best US freestyle wrestler (replacing John Smith)
In retrospect, Nolf's 5-3 loss to JB @ WTT doesn't looks as bad as some (js8793) seemed to think.
 
J’Den is so frustrating. I truly think he is one of the top 3 p4p wrestlers in the world especially when he attacks but at times he looks almost uninterested. If he attacked like DT or Snyder he would be unstoppable. I would still love to see him vs Sadulaev. I think he matches up well

Can we please use this thread just to discuss worlds? I think we need "free vs folk" and "complain about HR" monster threads like the Covid one as those subjects keep sidetracking the rest of the board.
Also need a f&#k with js monster thread. I think he’s set up permanent residence in some of our poster’s heads. 😆

JB looks as good as ever! I actually think he looks better at 79. He looks huge at the weight and he was shooting his blast double more this tournament than he has in a couple years. Not cutting weight and being strong and explosive had him looking like vintage JB. So damn impressive. I’m a John Smith fan my whole life but I think with this title JB moves ahead slightly. The crazy thing is that he’s not slowing down. He looks like he has a few more titles to win

been hanging onto that one for a while, huh? lol

when he beats a good international or world-level domestic guy, he'll get plenty of credit from me. he's been on the scene for a few years now and is right where he started, 3rd or 4th on the ladder and has never made a trials finals.

Didn't he just win 11-0 in the world finals? I mean--I understand your point, and agree to a degree, but weird timing.

i don’t think they spend as much time worrying about what the people over here think as you do.
